USGS releases first-ever comprehensive geologic map of the Moon
A link to a downloadable map located at the end of the article is down at the moment, but the article itself works just fine. A map and key can be found by getting the abstract pdf, however.

I just wish the link for the full map worked. I will keep trying for a few days. They might be doing server maintenance or moved the files.

I just downloaded it without issue.
There was the abstract, and then the very last link ended up dead. I will go back and try it.
Success! It is working now, thanks Gabby! I will edit my original post if I still can.
Edit: nope, I can't. Gabby, can you edit my original post so people will know they can get the file now, please?
